cool, thanks for the reply!
your bike looks awesome! I've bookmarked your site for a proper read through later.There's nothing particularly wrong with my Saracen as it stands, but I just want to make it a bit better without going too far.
I'm lucky enough to have several other bikes for other purposes at the moment so this one is purely for around town pootling, loading up with shopping, kids swimming bags, etc etc. and don't want it to be so nice that it becomes a theft target. it certainly doesn't warrant a cambium for example, as it doesn't do enough miles to warrant the expense.OG bars will be ordered later today!

Yea love those bars, great shape for all day riding, and quite wide considering the style of bar.
"On-One OG bar with some random 90’s bull horns filed to sit nicely in the bend, along with some Control Tech Bar Extensions for those extra millimeters. Im even hanging my lock on grips off the edges a little bit, because width is better than safety!"

Bike looks pretty rad as it is right now!
Bigger tires for sure, mudguards, maybe a little canti mounted front rack for the basket. Black seatpost, new saddle (cambium all weather?), and sweepy bars sounds like a solid plan. Aaaand splatter plz. Fade sounds overwhelming, whereas splatter can be done half assed and still look gud.
